"You called for me, but no one came?"
On the outskirts of King's Landing.
Sam was in front of an abandoned mansion that was said to have belonged to a fallen nobleman.
The surrounding area is lined with similar buildings and is unpopular because no one lives there.
It seems that they are going to demolish this area soon and build a new residential area, but this was of no concern to Sam.
(Why did you call me all the way to such a remote place? I guess it's not enough to just talk about it, as far as Marie is concerned. But so do we. (Don't think you'll get away with it after sending such a provocative letter.)
I leaned my back against a nearby wall and waited for a while, then I heard footsteps approaching.
And they were the footsteps of more than one person.
In the dim darkness, there was Julian with five followers carrying lanterns.
When he spots Sam, he smiles a broad smile.
"Hey, I'm impressed you're here all by yourself. I was expecting you to cry to Liese or something. I commend you for having the guts to do it.
Thank you very much. You said you wanted to talk to me, but you've got a whole bunch of squires here. Hey.
"I have my reasons. If I know I'm going to meet someone like you and I don't have an escort, my family will worry."
The squires are swordsmen.
Their movements were those of swordsmen, as were the swords on their waists and backs.
They seem to be quite skilled, but they do not seem threatening.
"No, no, it's quite funny that a candidate for the successor to the saint of swords is walking around with an escort. He should at least be able to handle the danger by himself."
It is also laughable that he cannot meet the child he has summoned without an escort.
Frankly speaking, I ask you if you intend to call yourself the next saint of swordsmanship.
Either that, or he thinks Sam is a threat, or he is not confident in his skills.
You should consider your position. You may be the most powerful wizard in the kingdom, but you are not so great that you can compete one-on-one with me, the next saint of swordsmanship. Rather, you should be thankful that we're even speaking to each other like this."
"--Oh, I see. So? You want to talk. Let's get this over with. It's gonna rain.
I can smell the rain from a few minutes ago.
I feel like I'm wasting my time just meeting with Julien, and I'm not going to waste my time if it's going to rain on top of that.
"Yes, that's right. I don't want to spend all my time talking to a country boy either. Now, as I already told you in my letter, Lise is mine."
"You've got to be kidding me."
"I'm sorry she couldn't have children, but such is the nature of noble marriages. I divorced her, but she's still mine."
"How can you say that after having an affair?"
"That's a funny thing to say. A nobleman needs an heir. It's natural to have more than one wife. The only way to do that is to have a mistress on the outside. You have a fiancée besides Lise, don't you? It's the same.
"Don't put us together! I'm doing it right where Master Liese knows! I would never do anything that Lise-sama wouldn't like!"
To tell the truth, Lise's presence was all Sam needed.
However, he met Stella and Karen, and as time went by, they became important to him.
His relationship with Karen is still like that of a friend, but he has already accepted Stella as one of his future partners.
But still, if Lise had said "no", I would have refused.
I am sorry for the others, but Lise is that important to Sam.
"I don't understand."
But Julien looked at Sam as if he were looking at something truly incomprehensible.
"Why do you have to ask Lise's permission for every single thing? Women are creatures of obedience. They don't need to be looked down upon.
"You know, you're not afraid to say things that would make the women of the world angry if they heard them, are you?
"But it's true. Well, I don't care. But more importantly, Lise is mine. Whether you like Lise or not, it doesn't matter. If you like Lise, then you'll break off the engagement and give her back to me, won't you?"
"Of course not, you idiot."
What is so sad that I have to give up the love of my life?
No, it's more than that. I don't understand why I have to obey the man who made Liese unhappy by asking me to give her to him.
（I mean, he treats Lise like an object! He's crazy if he thinks I'm going to obey him.)
"I don't understand you. Since I've gone to the trouble of giving you advice, you should reflect on your mistake, break off your engagement with Liese, and apologize to me. I'm sorry for messing with my property."
"...... you seriously think I would say something so stupid? If that's the case, you're out of your mind."
I'm impressed.
If you can only think of things in such a self-centered way, you must be living a very happy and fulfilling life.
I am sure that they never feel regret or sadness when they fail in something.
"From the way you look at me, it seems that you don't intend to make the most of the opportunities I have given you. Then - you will regret it when you die."
At Julien's words, the squires who had been watching from the sidelines each draw their swords.
"You were going to kill me from the start anyway, you know that?"
"Of course I do. You messed with my property, and I'll make sure you're sorry for it when you die."
Try it."
"Ha-ha-ha, I can't wait to see how long you can keep that attitude up. You can die in peace. After I marry Mizuki Amemiya and inherit the title of Sword Sage, I will take Liese back as my concubine and take good care of her."
"...... don't say any more bullshit."
"Yes, yes, you have Princess Stella, don't you? I'm sure she would be suitable for me now that I've become a sword saint.
Of course, Julien finally says he's going to make a move on Stella.
"Oh, by the way, there was that unfriendly woman, Hualien. I don't like her, but I believe she is the granddaughter of Lady Magnolia. Then, I'll take her as well."
"I don't know what to say, I'm so dumbfounded. I can't find the words to say. I've had enough of your nonsense. Come on now."
I'm getting tired of talking to Julian.
If they intend to use force, we will only resolve it with force.
Let's see what the heir to the saint of swords can do!
"Good grief... Ignorance is a scary thing... Or should I say naivete... Ignorance is a scary thing. --Do it.
At Julien's command, the five followers attacked at once.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
